Okay, this is the first time I’ve had darjeeling. I am surprised to see how green the first flush is.
Wow.
Okay, I like this. I’m going to have to try all of these first flushes.
The aroma reminds me of some of the whites I’ve had.
this tea is kind of floral, without really being floral. It’s quite different than I expected. It looks like it could be a green, but it tastes more like a white, without that effervesce that whites often have (and I just love.)
I like it.
I didn’t even know about this whole first flush thing. I had to Google the differences between the flushes. And now I will have to try the other first flushes, or at least another one of these, because I liked this one that much.

I love both types of Darjeeling, but second flush are much different, with that stronger muscatel taste, my favourites!
After I taste the first flush ones later today, I plan to try the second flush and then the autumn flush as well.
